Upwork Job Scraper This scraper extracts detailed job information from Upwork job listings based on the provided Upwork job search URL. ### Handling Upwork's 403 Errors Upwork has increased its protections, which may result in more 403 Forbidden errors. To minimize these issues and ensure successful job scraping, follow these best practices: #### 1. Use Multiple Proxy Countries - Some proxy locations work better than others. Instead of using a fixed country every time(e.g., "FR"), try rotating between different countries ("SE", "DE", "SG", etc.). - If a request fails, retry using a different proxy country. #### 2. Utilize Cookies for Better Access - Logging in to Upwork and extracting session cookies can improve success rates. - If you're using cookies, use your own country as the proxy country. ## Input Check the json example in input tab: https://apify.com/arlusm/upwork-scraper-with-fresh-job-posts/input-schema To call via API: POST url: https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/arlusm~upwork-scraper-with-fresh-job-posts/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token={YOUR_TOKEN} POST body content: json "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.upwork.com/nx/search/jobs/?per_page=50&q=stripe", "method": "GET" } ], "proxyCountryCode": "FR", ## Output The output is an array of job objects, with each object containing the following details: - title: The title of the job post - link: Direct URL to the job post - paymentType: Hourly or fixed-price payment type - budget: The job's budget (if available) - projectLength: Estimated project duration - shortBio: Description of the job - skills: List of required skills - publishedDate: When the job was posted - normalizedDate: publishedDate formatted in DateTime.
